Tuesday 5th May
Report written by Yianny (he / him)
What a Tuesday! The GoodGym Lambeth crew descended on the Woodlawns Centre armed with rakes, good vibes, and apparently a keen eye for unexpected discoveries. ๐
Fi, Ben, Patrick (welcome back, stranger! ๐) and the fully-restored Adam โ back to his best like a freshly serviced lawnmower โ showed up ready to make a difference for The Lunch Club Streatham, who use Woodlawns for half their service days. โค๏ธ
These are the people feeding the community, so the least we could do was make sure their garden isnโt a leafy, twiggy obstacle course.
And boy, did we deliver. Weโre talking many. MANY. bags of leaves โ composted, not binned, because weโre environmentally virtuous like that ๐ฑ.
Litter was picked. Twigs were sorted (yes, twig sorting is a skill and yes, we have it). The pathway was cleared to a standard that would make a Chelsea Flower Show judge weep with joy. ๐ญ๐ธ
But the highlight? Nestled amongst the foliage like a peculiar nature reserve exhibit: one twin pack of unopened condoms. ๐ฑ We will not speculate. We will simply note that the garden is clearly a space full of life and possibility. ๐คฉ
The Woodlawns garden is now ready for everyone to enjoy โ which is the whole point, isnโt it? Community spaces, cared for by communities. Thatโs what weโre about. ๐ช๐ผ๐พ
Big love to Fi, Adam, Ben and Patrick for getting stuck in. Same time next week? ๐โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The Lunch Club is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping anyone who may be struggling to afford or prepare their own meals by providing healthy, freshly cooked lunches. We are a new charity looking to make a big difference to our local community.
